Shojiro advanced toward Sheryl with brisk steps. Though Sheryl appeared a bit frightened, she held her ground. Meanwhile, Rurina glared at Shojiro, her anger evident.
As Shojiro closed in on Sheryl, Hamlyn swiftly interposed, placing himself firmly between them. He met Shojiro's gaze with a chilling stare filled with simmering anger.
Hamlyn and Shojiro confronted each other, their eyes locked in a tense stare-down.
Henry and Hamond then approached and positioned themselves beside Sheryl.
"Are you alright?" Henry inquired of Sheryl.
"Yeah, I'm fine," she replied with a nod.
Henry and Hamond turned their furious gazes toward Shojiro, who remained facing Hamlyn.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Hamlyn hissed, his voice thick with rage and fury.
"Hamlyn," Shojiro retorted, "Stay out of this. This doesn't concern you.”
"How dare you approach Sheryl like that," Hamlyn whispered, his voice carrying a chilling intensity, his eyes burning with rage.
